11:33 PM: Judicial retention votes leaning toward 'no'
Judicial retention of three Iowa Supreme Court justices has not officially been called one way or the other, but Iowa for Freedom state chairman Bob Vander Plaats is giving what sounds like a victory speech on TV now.
"Let's never forget who makes the law, let's never forget who executes the law," Vander Plaats said. "It's 'We the People.'"
Results currently show that voters rejected Chief Justice Marsha Ternus by a vote of 54 to 46 percent, with 83 percent of precincts reporting.
The "no" vote for Justice Michael Streit was 54 to 46 percent.
And voters also appear to have rejected Justice David Baker, 54 to 46 percent.
